Each OF the young lady graduates at
the opera house Thursday night, was the
recipient of beautiful floral tributes from
their friends, They consisted of bouquets
and baskets of flowers In various designs,
such as ships. wreaths, etc.. the flowers
being from the greenhouses of Mrs. V. S.
Glafcke, Mrs. Chas. Masten aud Mrs. j.
7. Chafin. These floral tributes. how
ever, were unseen by nineteen out ofevery
twenty who attended the commencement
exercises, and it was a matter of consider
able surprise to many that we should have
arrived at a point when commencement
exercises could be held in Cheyenne and
not a single flower in sight except those
worn by the young lady graduates and
perhaps some others. Miss Sylvia Adam
sky was the recipient of az many as ten or
twelve tribute, including one in the de-
sign of a ship, all of them being very
beautiful. Miss Spoor and Miss Adam

The Cheyenne fire department yester-
day engaged the Cheyenne City band for
Decoration day exercises. This is what
ought to be done by our citizens on all
public occasions, for what is the necessity
of sending abroad for a band when we
have one which need not take a back
seat" to any band. The Reynolds post is
precluded by the G.. A. R. regulations
from employing any other music than a
drum corps for an occasion such as will
occur on Monday, otherwise the post
would have made arrangements with the
city band some days ago. The members
Of the band now appear in fine new uni
forms, and with this and their excellent
marching and playing they have become
an organization of which the city may we'll
feel proud.

by Acting Mayor Draper and the city

From all that can be learned, the
growth of vegetation, ETC., in the country
north of Cheyenne is phenomenal this
spring. Doc Howard, who came in
from his ranch yesterday, states that grass
up near his place is almost as high already
as it Vas at any time last summer, and G..
D. Rainstord says hat he has apple trees
on his ranch that are even now in full
bloom. Others besides those quoted tell
substantially the same story in regard to
the wonderful growth of everything capa.

Some party took several gerarium
plants from Abe U%nderwood's yard on
Thursday afternoon and there is trouble
brewing, for there is blood in Abe's eye.
Mr.. Underwood and others know pretty
well where the plants went to, but Abe
says if they bring back the large one that
is missing they may have the rest and no
questions will be asked. Otherwise a
criminal complaint, a warrant and a Wig
orous prosecution will be the result. There
will probably be music in the air.

and other lose and very combustible
material. The fire alarm was sounded
and the fire department came promptly to

damage done was very t%rifing, almost
nothing in fact. There was much excite

look at the partially constructed new resi-

a good share of his time to a personal

competent to judge say there will be no
